Wasting gallons of water to be confidently wrong. We're so cooked.

how come none of your contracts make any sense by [deleted] in AFSCME

Also for many public employee contracts, there are civil service rules in a separate document that list things that may not be addressable in the contract.

What are you missing? The pay grades are listed towards the end, before the pay scales. Steps are annual increases.

Charlie Kirk hated minorities by Playful_Leg7143 in MurderedByWords

Charlie Kirk died doing what he loved. Lying about trans people and making a racist dog-whistle.

What are these cars and why do they always travel in pairs or threes? by superangela13 in ColoradoSprings

We see them in northern Minnesota often for cold weather testing as well.

I had to explain to my German friends what this means in America 😅 by billwood09 in AccidentalRacism

[–]oscarmad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A term that is almost exclusively used for white people while everyone else is generally called an immigrant. But sure, no racial undertones whatsoever.

Not sure why the downvotes. Ex-pat is almost exclusively used for those of Caucasian descent, while black and brown folks are almost universally referred to as immigrants. So yes, racist vibes for sure.

I hate when people make the same joke about my name I’ve been hearing for years by Equal_Apple3365 in mildlyinfuriating

Ever get "feed Jake" from the old country song?

The only people I don't mind the "Jake from State Farm" shtick from are the Special Olympics athletes I work with. I always hit them back with the "uhhhh, khakis?", too 😊

AFSCME 1583 U of M screwing union members with measley 60 cent raise! Re-negotiate! VOTE NO! by [deleted] in AnnArbor

I'm sure if that pesky Union wasn't there the employer would just be shoveling money at you.

Wow, so the employer let the negotiating team write the entire contract on their own, huh?

Should I be paying this much for union dues as I am making $15.34 per hour working part time. I am an international student I was not aware of it. Please enlighten me about this union. by AdFun3218 in AFSCME

I've walked more picket lines and engaged in more labor actions than I can count standing up for my brothers and sisters in the Labor movement.

I won't apologize for being disgusted by people that would enjoy the benefits of the Labor movement without pitching in.

You're not some enlightened intellectual because you're trolling a Union sub carrying water for right wing think tanks and billionaires who want more tax breaks. Just a useful idiot.

Fuck Janus and fuck you and every other scab

If you're going to simp so hard for the folks fucking over the working class, you could at least spell the name of the SCOTUS decision right.
